My other hobby is lapidary, the cutting and polishing of semi-precious gemstones. In addition, I do some jewelry construction in sterling silver. All of this is for relaxation and sometimes to make gifts for family and friends. Please feel free to e-mail about this subject, maybe we can trade some cutting materials...
